Don’t Settle For Less

EXPERIENCE THAT COUNTS

With more than 32 years of experience, Mr. Jones has counseled clients on a variety of matters before state agencies and the Texas Attorney General’s office and on legislative matters.

Our experience in public law includes three years as General Counsel to the Office of the Governor of Texas for Gov. Rick Perry.  We had primary responsibility for all legal matters in the Governor’s office, including economic development initiatives, contract negotiations with the state, legislative approval and recommendation, policy review, and the monitoring of settlements and litigation involving the state.  We have extensive experience advising and working with high-level elected state officials and their staffs.

Since leaving the Governor’s office in 2003 and entering private practice, we have represented numerous clients in the public law arena, including oil and gas companies before the Texas Railroad Commission, landowners before the Texas Public Utility Commission, various clients before the Texas Office of the Attorney General, and several clients before the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Transportation and other state agencies.  We have also represented a coalition of clients before the Texas Comptroller’s Office on a tax-related regulatory matter.  Further, we have represented clients on licensing and lease issues before the Texas General Land Office.

We have represented a large national third-party administrator for a healthcare entity before the United States Department of Health and Human Services.  We also have represented clients in matters at the U.S. Department of Energy including a nuclear power plant.
